Can you fix our damaged viewing window without taking out the water? |
|
| Answer: |
|
Of course! AEG can perform any dry side acrylic rehab and maintenance while water is still in the tank, but would you believe we have fixed gouges, buffed out scratches, and resealed leaky windows all while swimming amongst a tank full of tiger sharks! Not only does your exhibit stay open, but also the kids get a thrill watching us do our work while fending off dangerous predators! |

Will the critters in our custom tank get sick from any of the materials you use? |
|
| Answer: |
|
Not likely. Our head of Research and Development has gone to great lengths to make sure that Aquatic Exhibit Group uses only the safest, non-toxic, critter friendly construction and fabrication materials available. When in doubt, AEG relies on a vast brain trust of professional aquarists and life-support experts with whom we can consult for advice on how to proceed with some of the more delicate aqualife habitats we have constructed. |

What’s the difference between acrylic and glass viewing panels? |
|
| Answer: |
|
While there are benefits to both acrylic and glass viewing panels depending on the application, in recent years, acrylic has far surpassed glass in versatility and multiple uses. Large glass panels, usually 2 or more pieces of material laminated together are also more difficult and costly to transport and install, while large acrylic panels are usually single pieces of lighter weight material that can be cut, shaped, bent and polished more easily than glass and can be shipped in sections and seamlessly assembled on site. Most importantly, glass viewing windows tend to have a noticeable tint to them, whereas acrylic is almost always clearer and easier to maintain, insuring that visitors will view exhibits the way they were meant to be seen. |
